My Asthma Calendar/Diary

Families find it very helpful to use an
asthma calendar/diary. We have listed
some helpful tips below.

My Asthma Calendar/Diary

Post It and Use It!

Post It and Use It!

Hang this in a visible place (like on the fridge), so everyone involved in your child’s care will know if asthma medicines have been taken or not. Use it for one month to reinforce the daily routine of taking asthma medicine. Research shows it takes 21 days to create a new habit.

Develop A New Routine

Develop A New Routine

Encourage your child to participate in creating a new routine. Some children are motivated by rewards for remembering to take medicine every day for a month (like stickers to put on the calendar).

Track Medicine and Symptoms

Track Medicine and Symptoms

Track medicine changes made in your child's Asthma Action Plan. Bring this information to all of your child's asthma appointments. Tracking your child's symptoms and when they happen, will help to understand what well-controlled asthma looks like.
